...Thayer showed excellent judgment in waiting for good balls, but failing to get them he took first on called balls. He successfully stole second and went to third on Carter's wild throw. His dives into second and third were marvellous and amusing. Tyng then commenced his series of hard hits by a beauty to the left, on which Thayer scored. Ernst hit safe to right, and Tyng scored. Two runs to begin with, which were loudly cheered. To Yale the first three innings yielded no returns, no man reaching first base. Wheaton's hit in the first inning...
...passed ball gave him his run, which proved the first and last of Yale's accomplishments. In the sixth Leeds struck out, but Wright and Latham got their bases on good hits, and scored on bad errors by Clark. Sawyer got first on Clark's error; Thayer hit a hard one to Brown, who muffed it. Bigelow's bad error then gave Sawyer his run, making the third in this inning, which showed much demoralization on the part of Yale. Downer in this inning hit a safe one to left, got second on Tyng's poor throw, but was caught...

Though making a few unusual errors for him, his general play was very fine. Carter did not prove as effective as before, but he is always a hard man to hit.

Their occasional brilliant plays were fully recognized, and applauded by the audience in an impartial and courteous spirit, which New Haven audiences would do well to imitate. The umpiring was excellent, and thoroughly satisfactory...
...reached, Harvard's slow and steady work had brought her a foot or two ahead, and now this lead was steadily increased. Columbia struggled desperately, and hung on for another half-mile, and up to that point, a little below the first mile-flag, she gave Harvard a hard race. Here the two boats came into dangerous proximity; for a few strokes they rowed over and under each other's oars, and people held their breath. "Harvard, Harvard!" shouted the referee, and Harvard, responding to a slight strain on the rudder-lines, and to the only spurt they were called...
...expect. On Friday afternoon the strong south-west-wind rendered the water too rough for shells, and the race was put off till the morrow. In the evening our crew took a short practice pull, and were all in excellent health and spirits. They anticipated a hard race and victory. The Yale men were well and jolly, except the redoubtable Cook, who was profoundly agitated because a neglected bed of weeds, opposite the city, had been buoyed, under the direction of Harvard, without consulting him; and the "Commodore" filled the surrounding ether with vague threats and hints of trouble escaped...
